Secondperson - Earth lyrics
rate meAnd so the clock strikes twelve as we find ourselves<br />
In a sphere of a clearing in a navy light<br />
There are no stars, just the bars of a car's headlights<br />
On the leaves in the dead of the night<br />
Silhouette suits step out of the shadows<br />
Into the arena where the cameras roll<br />
See their shoulders strain below the weight of the spades<br />
Stereo plays for a funeral<br />
<br />
They say the moon is nearly full<br />
They see their eyes are nearly dry<br />
They know how wonderful, how wonderful it is<br />
To be alive tonight<br />
<br />
I leave myself to the earth<br />
To the air<br />
To the ashes<br />
It's my time<br />
It's my design<br />
It's my turn<br />
And I know I won't be loved<br />
Won't be saved<br />
Won't be noticed<br />
Until I learn to love<br />
I hate to learn<br />
<br />
To my best beloved I do bequeath<br />
All the anguish and the irony<br />
And all the things we never meant<br />
And those we set out to prevent<br />
<br />
I leave myself to the earth<br />
To the air<br />
To the ashes It's my time<br />
It's my design<br />
It's my turn<br />
And I know I won't be loved<br />
Won't be saved<br />
Won't be noticed<br />
Until I learn to love<br />
I hate to learn<br />
<br />
This is my early grave<br />
Where I wait for the light to let me in<br />
Here it comes around again<br />
And I say<br />
Let the light shows and the sounds<br />
Of the orchestra begin<br />
My eternal requiem<br />
<br />
For an early grave.
